TO DO:
Principals: Thank you for getting your SLGGS, minis-observations and self-evaluations completed and entered into Talent EdPerform. The deadline for renewing (or not) probationary teachers is fast approaching. Work with Jon and me on these situations.
At our individual principal meetings this month we spoke of completing drafts of your School Design Plans. Here are the templates for each of the “buckets” Academic Excellence, Thriving Citizen and Future Ready along with the list of Future Ready Skills for that goal. A few of you still need to complete yours for your school. We will look those over in February.
Have you scheduled your STUDENT SHADOW? You have until Feb 1 to Get Er Done so the HS ADMIN TEAM can hit our 100% participation mark! Here are the necessary docs you will need: a description of the parameters for participating, some interview questions, and a Google form for your reflections.
Informational:
On Friday, January 4th, the district sent a fire & life safety message in the Staff Spotlight to all staff, reminding them of several important practices. We want to emphasize two of these to all administrators:
- Staff should check for any blocked or impaired fire/life safety devices in their classrooms or workplaces. If they have any potential issues, these are to be reported to administrators and/or staff custodians. These issues should be addressed as quickly as possible.
- It is a violation of the law to alter, remove, or tamper with any fire safety components.
DHS is in the process of implementing a statewide Child Abuse Hotline which will be completed in April 2019. It started on November 1, 2018, in Deschutes, Jefferson and Crook Counties. The reporting number has changed and it is 541-693-2854. Here are some informative points about this resource:
- They are working to correct some telephone line problems
- There will be the ability for the caller to leave their return phone number in case they can’t wait for someone to answer
- They are in the process of hiring 75% additional staff to handle these calls!
- They have implemented an email address for people to send concerns/feedback to:
